The 2nd ODI between Ireland and the West Indies took place on May 23, 2025, at Castle Avenue, Dublin. Ireland entered the match leading the three-match series 1-0 after a commanding 124-run victory in the first ODI, where they posted a strong total of 303 runs and then bowled out West Indies cheaply.
Ireland aimed to seal the series with a second consecutive win. West Indies, missing some key players due to IPL commitments, needed to win this match to stay alive in the series and force a decider in the third ODI.
The first ODI saw Ireland dominate both batting and bowling, with Balbirnie’s century and McCarthy’s 4-wicket haul pivotal. West Indies struggled in the first match, especially with the bat, and needed a strong response in the 2nd ODI.
The 2nd ODI was a must-win for West Indies to keep the series alive, with suggestions that batting first might be their best strategy.
